half truths and lies

HANDCUFFED

            on this

IRON ROD

            extending

towards

            the HEAVENS

I sigh in relief

  knowing there is NO PLACE

            I CAN GO.

aren't you AFRAID

  that people will take you to

WRONG places or

            UNFORTUNATE accidents will happen

as you walk across a street?

WELL NOT ME.

  I'll be here chained

  and live out the rest of my days -

                                                            and

I'll be sure that

  MY DEATH

won't be AN ACCIDENT.
